Frequently Asked Questions
Best Overall: LELO Sona 2 Cruise
Why We Love It: In the world of sex toys, LELO is synonymous with luxury. The retailer only releases one or two new toys a year, meaning each product has been thoughtfully designed and tested before it hits your doorstep. The Sona 2 Cruise is one of LELO's best sellers, and it's one Allure editors have highlighted before as the best clit vibrator. It's an external vibrator that uses sonic pulses across 12 intensity levels — all of which are controlled via an easy, three-button interface — to stimulate your clit. It's also 100% waterproof so you can use it in the shower or bathtub to unwind after a long day.
Expert Tip: The Sona 2 Cruise has a unique "Cruise Control" feature that unleashes a little more power when you press it against your body with increased pressure, which ideally happens when you're nearing orgasm.
Type: Suction vibrator | Material: Body-safe silicone | Modes: 12 vibration settings | Waterproof: Yes | Battery: 2 hours | Lube compatibility: Water-based
Best Suction Vibrator: Womanizer X Lovehoney Pro40 Rechargeable Clitoral Stimulator
Why We Love It: This sleek toy is designed to stimulate the feeling of oral sex. While your partner's jaw will eventually tire, this suction vibrator can go for hours. Four hours, to be precise. The Womanizer X Lovehoney Pro40 Rechargeable Clitoral Stimulator operates using "Pleasure Air Technology," which involves sending focused air pulses toward the clit to stimulate the nerve endings without actually touching them. According to many reviewers, it's a unique sensation that leads to incredible orgasms.
Expert Tip: This can be used for masturbation (obviously) but the design also makes it easy to use during partnered sex.
Type: Suction vibrator | Material: Body-safe silicone | Modes: 6 intensity settings | Waterproof: Yes | Battery: 4 hours | Lube compatibility: Water-based
Best for Couples: We-Vibe Sync O
Why We Love It: This futuristic sex toy has a little something for everyone. The flexible silicone loop on the We-Vibe Sync O slides inside the vagina and vibrates against the internal pleasure spots and the penis if you're having penetrative sex. Meanwhile, the external arm buzzes against the clit for extra intense sensations. It has 10 intensity levels to explore and an adjustable hinge that ensures it fits your body perfectly.
Expert Tip: There are three ways to control the settings on this toy. You can use the We-Vibe app, the remote, or the buttons on the toy itself. If you use the app, it's possible to control this toy from anywhere in the world or create your own vibration patterns.
Type: Clitoral/wearable/couple's vibrator | Material: Body-safe silicone | Modes: 10 intensity settings | Waterproof: Yes | Battery: 3 hours (more if you use it as a corded vibrator!) | Lube compatibility: Water-based
Best Dildo: Desire by Lovehoney Luxury Weighted Curved Silicone Dildo
Why we love it: This dildo is truly the best of both worlds. It's a metal dildo that has a pleasantly hefty feel, wrapped in super-soft silicone for a more velvety sensation against your skin. The weight inside the dildo makes it easier to provide intense stimulation to your internal hotspots – one reviewer even called it "life-changing."
Expert tip: You can use either the bulbous end or the slimmer, curved tip depending on the sensation you want.
Type: Dildo | Material: Body-safe silicone | Modes: N/A | Waterproof: Submersible | Battery: N/A | Lube compatibility: Water-based
Best Wand Vibrator: Magic Wand Rechargeable Extra Powerful Cordless Vibrator
Why We Love It: Some things are classics for a reason. Case in point: The Magic Wand. This iconic vibrator has been a staple of many sex toy drawers for decades, thanks to the powerful, rumbly vibrations it produces. Unlike the original Magic Wand, this version is cordless (though notably, you can use it while it's plugged in, which is not the case with many sex toys). It's also blessedly simple to use, featuring four speeds and four patterns, all controlled by three buttons.
Expert Tip: The Magic Wand is a good sex toy for people with arthritis or other hand impairments, thanks to the wide, easy-to-hold base and simple button interface. It's also one of the best sex toys for trans women and nonbinary people. "Even if you don't use it on your clit you can use it on your back," New York-based sex educator Octavia Leona Kohner suggested. We love the versatility.
Type: Wand vibrator | Material: Body-safe silicone head | Modes: 4 speeds and 4 patterns | Waterproof: No | Battery: 3 hours (more if you use it as a corded vibrator!) | Lube compatibility: Water-based
Best Dual Stimulator: Womanizer Duo 2
Why We Love It: Can't choose between a suction vibrator and a G-spot vibrator? Luckily, you don't have to. The Womanizer Duo 2 uses gentle air vibrations to tease the clit without overstimulating it, while the internal shaft buzzes against the G-spot. It's an intensely pleasurable sensation that's truly unlike what you'll feel when using most other sex toys. Plus, reviewers love the long battery life and the short time it takes to recharge this vibrator.
Expert Tip: This vibrator comes with two differently-sized stimulator heads (that's the silicone tip on the external "sucking" part) so you can choose the one that works best for you.
Type: Clitoral/G-spot vibrator | Material: Body-safe silicone | Modes: 14 intensity settings | Waterproof: Yes | Battery: 2 hours | Lube compatibility: Water-based
Best G-Spot Vibrator: Fun Factory Big Boss
Why We Love It: If you prefer a bigger toy, the Fun Factory Big Boss deserves a spot in your sex toy drawer. It has an insertable length of 6.5 inches and measures nearly two inches thick. Beyond that, it also has an extra-powerful motor that delivers intense vibrations to your G-spot and a flexible shaft that has details like a bulbous head and protruding veins for extra pleasure as it moves in and out.
Expert Tip: The ergonomic loop handle and raised buttons are designed to be easy to use even when you have lube on your hands.
Type: G-spot vibrator | Material: Body-safe silicone | Modes: 4 vibration patterns, 5 speeds | Waterproof: Yes | Battery: 40 mins to 2 hours, depending on settings | Lube compatibility: Water-based
Best Rabbit Vibrator: LELO Soraya Wave
Why We Love It: Quick recap: A blended orgasm is one where your internal and external erogenous zones are both being stimulated simultaneously. These types of orgasms can be super intense, which is probably why there are many toys designed to do just that — including the LELO Soraya Wave, a popular rabbit vibrator. The larger shaft is designed to vibrate and move back and forth inside you, while the smaller one (the "ears" of the rabbit) stimulates the clit. You can activate either of the two arms individually, or both for a heightened experience. Admittedly, this toy is on the pricier side, but "you get what you pay for," as Dr. Kennedy points out. “Better toys are going to cost more.”
Expert Tip: If you enjoy a partner making a "come hither" motion while fingering you, you'll likely love this toy.
Type: Rabbit vibrator | Material: Body-safe silicone | Modes: 8 intensity settings | Waterproof: Yes | Battery: 2 hours | Lube compatibility: Water-based
Best Remote-Control Vibrator: We-Vibe Moxie+
Why We Love It: The We-Vibe Moxie+ offers a ton of spicy possibilities. It's a wearable panty vibrator that clips in using a secure magnet, so you don't have to worry about it shifting out of place while it's in use. This remote-control vibrator also syncs with the We-Vibe app, which allows the user to change the settings and intensity from anywhere in the world (well, anywhere with an internet connection). That feature makes it perfect for long-distance hookups, but this is also a fun one to play with when you're together IRL.
Expert Tip: If you're feeling brave, wear this toy next time you're going out on a date. Reviewers say it's pretty quiet, but you can always opt for a club or loud bar if you're nervous about the toy being heard.
Type: Panty/wearable vibrator | Material: Body-safe silicone | Modes: 10 intensity settings | Waterproof: Yes | Battery: 2 hours | Lube compatibility: Water-based (comes with a 2-milliliter We-Vibe lube sample)
Best Hands-Free Vibrator: Tracy's Dog OG Pro 2 Clitoral Sucking Vibrator
Why We Love It: Much like a rabbit vibrator, Tracy's Dog OG Pro 2 Clitoral Sucking Vibrator is designed to provide internal and external stimulation. But unlike your standard rabbit vibrator, this toy has a clit-sucking feature that leads to incredible, leg-shaking orgasms. This vibrator can also be hands-free: Once you've got it where you want it, there's no need to hold it in place. If you want to change things up, it also comes with a remote so you can switch settings without bringing the show to a pause.
Expert Tip: You can also use the two features (G-spot vibrations and clit suction) individually rather than simultaneously. It's kind of like having three vibrators in one.
Type: Clitoral/suction/G-spot vibrator | Material: Body-safe silicone | Modes: 10 intensity settings | Waterproof: Water-resistant | Battery: 50 minutes | Lube compatibility: Water-based
Best Thrusting Vibrator: Thrust by Bellesa
Why We Love It: Bellesa's Thrust does all the work for you. It's a rabbit vibrator, but unlike most, it stimulates your internal erogenous zones by thrusting. That's just the beginning. A set of rotating beads around the shaft stimulates your vaginal opening, plus, a uniquely flat exterior arm that ensures your clit is in on the action as well. According to the product description, the vibrator was designed using tons of input from Bellesa's community members and features the brand's "most advanced technology." It doesn't come cheap, but dozens of reviewers promise it's worth the price tag. Rarely (if ever) does a toy have this many features dedicated to bringing you a dual-stimulation orgasm.
Expert Tip: Since there are multiple features to play with, you might want to set aside an entire evening to get to know this vibrator.
Type: Rabbit/thrusting vibrator | Material: Body-safe silicone | Modes: 10 vibration settings, 5 thrusting rotating modes | Waterproof: Yes | Battery: Not specified | Lube compatibility: Water-based
Best for Temperature Play: Unbound Babes Gemini Dual Ended Glass Dildo
Why We Love It: Similar to stainless steel, "glass toys are durable, allow you to play with temperature, feel more sturdy, and are also easy to clean," Dr. Kennedy shares. Unbound Babes' dual-ended Gemini Glass Dildo has a beaded end that's particularly good for anal play, while the curved end with a bulbous head can be used to stimulate the G-spot (or also used for anal play). And unlike many other sex toys, you can throw this in the dishwasher if you want to. (Just ask your roommates first.)
Expert Tip: You can easily use this along with a vibrator for a toe-curling sensation.
Type: Dildo | Material: Nonporous borosilicate glass | Modes: N/A | Waterproof: No | Battery: N/A | Lube compatibility: Water- and silicone-based
Most Viral Sex Toy: Lovehoney Rose Clitoral Suction Stimulator
Why We Love It: If you've been on TikTok lately, you've probably come across some iteration of this rose-shaped sex toy. In addition to being too cute for words, Lovehoney's Rose Clitoral Suction Stimulator gets the job done with 10 levels of pulsating suction that clit-havers are sure to enjoy. It's also easy to use, thanks to a two-button interface and magnetic charger — an ideal toy for beginners. A few reviewers mention that it can be a little noisy, so turn on some music or a white noise machine if you're playing with this in earshot of other people.
Expert Tip: Why stay downstairs? The gentle suction emanating from this toy also feels great on nipples.
Type: Clitoral/suction vibrator | Material: Body-safe silicone | Modes: 10 intensity settings | Waterproof: Yes | Battery: 65 minutes | Lube compatibility: Water-based
Best Butt Plug: Njoy Pure Plug Large
Why We Love It: This gorgeous stainless steel butt plug is ideal if you've previously used smaller "beginner" butt plugs and are ready to try something new. It offers about three inches of insertable length and a particularly wide head measuring about 4.7 inches at the widest point. (Smaller versions, e.g. small and medium, of the same plug are available, so double-check when you add this to your cart!) The smooth stainless steel is weighted to provide extra stimulation to those sensitive nerve endings inside your anus. It can also be heated or cooled under running water if you want to play with the temperature.
Expert Tip: Don't clean this with any abrasive cleaners or materials, otherwise you'll lose the shine. We'd recommend adding sex toy cleaner to your cart before you check out.
Type: Butt plug | Material: Stainless steel | Modes: N/A | Waterproof: No | Battery: N/A | Lube compatibility: Water- and silicone-based
Best Vibrator for Beginners: Maude Vibe
Why We Love It: Vibrators don't have to be complicated. The Maude Vibe proves it, with a streamlined design and just three speeds. What makes this vibrator particularly good for beginners is the comprehensive usage guide, complete with photos, videos, and a FAQ section — all of which can be found on the product page. Sex toys can be intimidating but Maude makes them far more accessible. It's also among the best toys for transgender women and nonbinary people.
Expert Tip: Some sex toys have seemingly endless settings and speeds, but most people don't need that many. This vibrator keeps things simple.
Type: External vibrator | Material: Platinum-grade silicone | Modes: 3 speeds | Waterproof: Water-resistant | Battery: 1-to 2.5-hour battery life depending on settings used | Lube compatibility: Water-based
Best Gift Set: We-Vibe Date Night Set
Why We Love It: Date night just got a whole lot hotter. This luxe set from WeVibe includes two of the brand's most alluring toys. First up is the We-Vibe Nova 2, a flexible rabbit vibrator that stimulates the clitoris and the G-spot simultaneously. Unlike many rabbit vibrators, both the shaft and external arm on the Nova 2 are flexible, ensuring that it hits the right spot(s) every time. Then you have the We-Vibe Pivot, a vibrating ring that fits snugly around a penis or dildo and provides 11 vibration patterns and modes to play with.
Expert Tip: Both toys can be controlled via the We-Vibe app. Plus, within the app, you can create custom vibration patterns for the two of you to enjoy. How romantic!
Type: Rabbit vibrator, penis ring | Material: Body-safe silicone | Modes: N/A (Nova 2), 10 vibrations (Pivot) | Waterproof: Yes | Battery: Up to 2 hours (for both toys) | Lube compatibility: Water-based
Best Wearable Vibrator: Dame Eva II
Why We Love It: Many vibrators can be used during partnered sex, but Dame Eva II's design is undeniably unique. The small device tucks in against your clit and the flexible arms extend ever so slightly underneath the labia majora to keep the vibrator in place. (If this isn't making sense, the product page has a helpful video). Long story short, you won't have to keep adjusting this toy during sex, no matter how vigorous things get.
Expert Tip: As with any toy, even one designed "for couples" or to be worn during partnered sex, you can use this solo as well.
Type: Clitoral/wearable/couple's vibrator | Material: Body-safe silicone | Modes: 3 intensity settings | Waterproof: Yes | Battery: 1 hour | Lube compatibility: Water-based
Best Anal Toy Set: Lovehoney Bumper Booty Bundle Anal Sex Toy Kit
Why We Love It: "We can't forget anal play," Dr. Torrisi notes. "Anuses are equal opportunity erogenous zones because just about everybody has an anus." This six-piece Bumper Booty Bundle Anal Sex Toy Kit from Lovehoney is good for newbies and those experienced with anal play, since it features toys of different lengths and shapes. The set also comes with a small bullet vibrator that can be inserted into the butt plugs or anal beads for additional stimulation, or used separately. The set also comes with an anal douche, which some people like to use before engaging in anal play — but you should know it's not necessary to douche if you don't want to.
Expert Tip: Add lube, sex toy cleaner, and a pack of AAA batteries to your cart along with this kit so you can start enjoying these toys as soon as they arrive.
Type: Anal vibrators and butt plugs | Material: Body-safe silicone | Modes: N/A | Waterproof: Yes | Battery: N/A | Lube compatibility: Water-based
Most Discreet Vibrator: LELO Mia 2
Why We Love It: If you're feeling weird about bringing a vibe on vacation, consider this option from LELO that looks like a mascara tube.

When you're settled in the hotel room and ready to use it, you'll get to enjoy six different speeds and five vibration patterns, plus a lengthy two-hour battery life. It's also waterproof if you're looking for shower or bathtub enjoyment.
Expert Tip: In addition to sex toys that look like makeup, LELO actually also sells makeup. Consider this your one-stop shop.

It has three powerful speeds and 17 fun patterns, plus it's waterproof and USB rechargeable. Use it on your or your partner's clit, nipples, perineum, or any other sensitive regions. We see a fun night in your future once this toy makes its way to you.

Cutest Vibrator: By uVibe Avo
Why We Love It: All due respect to the rose toy, but this uVibe Avo might be the cutest vibrator we've ever seen. But the avocado-inspired design does more than look adorable on your nightstand. It has 10 vibration speeds and reviewers say that the bulbous head does a good job of providing clit stimulation. The unique shape also makes it easy to hold, and ringing in at less than $50, it's also one of the more affordable sex toys we recommend giving a whirl.

It also has a soft tip that's perfect for pinpoint stimulation, or you can use the flat side for wider stimulation in the area.
Expert Tip: Several reviewers say this is a great vibrator to use alone or during partnered sex since the uniquely flat design makes it easy to hold it between your bodies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I use a sex toy?
The math is plain and simple. "For folks with vulvas and vaginas, we need to remember that three out of four women need direct or indirect clitoral stimulation for optimal sexual pleasure," shares Rosara Torrisi, PhD, a licensed clinical social worker and AASECT-certified sex therapist at the Long Island Institute of Sex Therapy in Syosset, New York. Not to mention, there are proven mental health benefits. In 2021, during the height of the pandemic, there was a study that found subjects who were sexually active experienced less anxiety and depression. Even outside of lockdown, using sex toys is a form of self-care that can't be overlooked.
Who can use a sex toy?
Everyone! In particular, those who can't reach orgasm through penetrative sex, or people who simply want to explore new avenues of masturbation. "The more orgasms you have, the better you're going to know how to get there, the more you're going to want them, and the more you understand yourself," Holly Richmond, a somatic psychologist and certified sex therapist, previously told Allure. In turn, you can share said information with a partner to make your sexual exploits infinitely more pleasurable.
In fact, while most sex toys are great for solo play, they can also be a fun part of partnered sex if you want them to be. Browsing for toys together "can be a big part of the foreplay as the mind starts to imagine how toys might be used," says Dr. Kennedy. "It's also a way to signal more of what you like, which is a thrilling way to grow the relationship."
What are the different types of vibrators?
As for what type of sex toys to explore, "vibrators are a typical favorite and they come in both external, clitoris-focused design as well as internal, phallic options," shares Jenn Kennedy, PhD, board-certified sex therapist and licensed marriage and family therapist at Riviera Therapy in Santa Barbara, California. (She is also the founder of The Pleasure Project.) Below, we break down the main categories of vibrators:
Clitoral vibrators: "Toys that focus on the external clitoris that I love are air pulse toys from companies like Womanizer and Satisfyer," says Dr. Torrisi. These use gentle pressure to surround and stimulate the clit, a sensation similar to oral sex.
G-spot vibrators: These vibrators typically stimulate the internal erogenous zone commonly referred to as the G-spot (though that term isn't totally accurate). However, whatever you call it, there is a whole class of vibrators designed for G-spot stimulation.
Wand vibrators: These are typically bigger vibrators used to stimulate the clit or other external zones. They're often described as having rumbly vibrations.
Rabbit vibrators: These are all about dual stimulation. They usually have a longer shaft that goes inside, plus a smaller, flexible shaft - often with two soft nubs, or ears - that stimulate the clit. "Some folks appreciate internal and external stimulation," Dr. Torrisi tells us. I most appreciate when internal and external stimulation have separate controls."
Remote-control vibrators: While most vibrators have built-in buttons to adjust settings to your desired effects, some are controlled via remotes or even apps on your phone. These are especially fun for partner play, since they give you the option to let your partner control the speed, pattern, and intensity of your vibrator.
Anal toys: These encompass any vibrating or non-vibrating toy that can be used anally. "If you're new to anal play, start slow and small," advises Dr. Torrisi. Any toy that's designed for anal use should also have a flared base for safety. Lube is also essential for easy gliding since your body doesn't produce any natural lubrication in this area.
Dildos: These tend to be penis-shaped toys that can be used anally or vaginally. They're usually made of silicone, glass, or metal and many of them are compatible with harnesses for strap-on play. Some of them vibrate, but it's more common for them to be non-vibrating toys.
